Arriving officers discovered that Oluwafunmi Gbolade, 23, allegedly tried to cut the male victim's throat with a knife. A caller told police they saw Gbolade throw a knife and flee the area, police said.

The male victim suffered from a non-life threatening knife wound and refused transport to the hospital, police told Patch.

A canvass of the area led to the apartment where the Gbolade lived, and the victim positively identified her. Gbolade was arrested and transported to the DC Jail. A warrant for her arrest by Takoma Park was granted, police said.
